Senior Age Sight & Hearing Impaired ** Will be Available after Aug 1 due to Dental scheduled and surgery to remove some lumps. Meet Carleton (Now known as Teddy!), estimated 14 yrs old, Poodle / Bichon Friese Mix, 15 lbs. Teddy is a Very Sweet Senior who is losing his sight and hearing as he's growing older, and likes being in a quieter home. He's less active now hanging with other dogs his size and would like another dog his size to hang with at his new home that's small, less than 20 lbs. He Rides Well in a car. He is housebroken and will whine/bark to go out or to eat; but occasionally lifts leg in house on potty pads. Would like a Fenced Yard and another small dog to hang with and a home with few steps for this Senior. Are you ready to adopt a Great Little "Mellow Fellow" Senior to Love?
